The Bills have cleverly avoided this trap by not having a starting quarterback.

True, but most can expect to be somewhat effective if their QB gets knocked out of the game for a quarter or so.

Even with less than a week of preparation, I’d put Wallace up against Ryan Mallet, Josh McKown, Dominique Davis, Brock Osweiler, Brady Quinn, Tyrod Taylor, TJ Yates, Luke McKown, or any of the slew of crappy backup QB’s sitting on other Super Bowl contending teams.

You really thing the Jets are a Super Bowl contending team? I think you better sit the next few plays out.
Bolding mine, all mine!

Of course not. I thought Quinn was still with Seattle.

An interesting solution to the thought of increasing the length of the NFL season. Add weeks but don’t add games and give the teams an extra bye week.
